Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Device: Bioresorbable vascular scaffold
Device: Everolimus eluting stent
Registration Number
NCT02151929
Lead Sponsor
San Giuseppe Moscati Hospital
Brief Summary

Evaluation of the feasibility and safety of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) in patient treated with primary PCI (pPCI).

Detailed Description

Background. Drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation may offer benefits in terms of repeat revascularization in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The everolimus eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) has shown efficacy and safety in stable patient but not in acute coronary syndromes. The study tested the feasibility and safety of BVS in patient treated with primary PCI (pPCI) Methods. Consecutive STEMI patients admitted within 12 hours of symptom onset and undergoing primary angioplasty and stent implantation at a tertiary center with 24-hour primary PCI capability will be randomly assigned to everolimus eluting stent (EES) or BVS. Primary endpoints are procedural and clinical success. The MACE (cardiac death, non fatal myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization (TLR)) and definite or probable ST will be evaluated at six months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Procedural and Clinical successPatients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay (4-8 days)

Procedural success: The deployment of BVS at the intended target lesion with a final residual stenosis ≤20% and a TIMI 2-3 coronary flow by visual estimation without major periprocedural complication (death, emergent CABG, coronary perforation, flow limiting coronary dissection).

Clinical success: any major in-hospital events (deaths, reinfarction, urgent revascularization, stroke, major bleedings)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The MACEsix months

cumulative incidence of cardiac death, non fatal myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization
